Formidable Increase of This Terrible
Disease All over France.

In the course of the last few years
the disease which the doctors call NOR
phiamania has made formidable head
way all over France In the capital its
victims almost rival those of alchohol-
ism. At Bellevue great hospital has
been opened for the care, and, if posi-
BILE, for the cure of these patients
Here, at least, all the symptoms of the
disease may be stud ed. and cur Gus sta
tstics of its course and of the character
of its victims have been collected. The
disease in its present form is necessari-
" of but recent origin. Morphia itself
The cure of it is very rare. 1t is found
that both the use and deprivation of the
drug lead the victims almost inevita bly,
to suicide. and at Bellevue there are
cushioned rooms for some of the pa
tents, and constant watch kept on
all. One is not surprised to hear that
the chief sufferers are women. After
women come doctors. One can see the
reason OF this. A few years ago the
injection of morphia was almost sur
gical operation. Doctors would have
most opportunity and least fears of the
results. Now, unfortunately. the in
struments have been made so perfect
that the use Of them has ceased to be
either painful or formidable. - Chicago

She came and went as comes and goes
The dewdrop on the morning rose,
Or as the tender lights that die
At shut of day along the sky.
Her coming made the dawn more bright,
Her going brought the sombre night;
Her coming male the blossoms shine
Her going made them droop and pine.
Whcrc'er her twiuk,ing feet did pass,
Beneath them grecner grew the grass;
The soug-birGs ruff ID their small threats
To swell for her their hlith,st notes.
But when she went, the h.ushing day
Sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark ts sable vans unfurled,
And sudden night possessed the world
. fond desires that wake in vain
She ne'er will come 10 us again;
And now, ike vanished perfume sweet,
Her memort grows more vague and feet,
Yet we rejoice that morn by morn
The sad old world seems less forlorn,
Since once so bright vision came
To touch our eyes with heavenly flame
And show TO our bcwildcred eyes
What beauty dwells in paradise.

heard of the woman and several weeks
ago Mr.. Brooks went west to unravel
the mystery if possible. He returned
and reported that no clue had been
found to the missing woman and
that he had placed the matter
in the hands of detectives. A

She does not say where her place of

Mr.. Brooks that he had discovered the

Pernnitaed I.nnd-

NEW YORK, June 14.-The hearing
in the habeas corpus proceedings i'll the
case of seYenty-one immigrants, who
have been forbidden by the Emmigra-
tion Committee to land, came up in
the United States District Court this
afternoon. The testimony showed that
the Commissioners directed the deten-
ton of the immigrants solely on the
ground that their fare to this country
had been paid by the British Govern
ment. Judge Brown decided as the OBJ
lection to the landing, included no
statutory reason for describing immi-
grants as paupers to discharge them.
The statute gives as a reason for pre-
vention of landing of paupers, inca
pacity by reason of age, feebleness or
physical infrmity, lunacy or idiocy.
Judge Brown said the conclusion ar
rived at by the Commission might have
been from reasonable grounds as statute
prescribed, but not legal.

strong. E. A. Vosser was put on the
stand last night, and he made a COM

in the Hamilton trial, very important
evidence against the defendant. He
testified that Lloyd drew all the spikes
and was the leader in the cowardly
crime in every particular. Lloyd lis
tened to this evidence without making
move. Mrs. BENZ. Horton, the wife
of the fireman who was killed, was on
the stand few minutes, but was ex-
cused by the counsel on account of her
profound grief. Mrs. Horton looks as
though she was a heart-broken woman.

bishop of the diocese of Kansas,
preached the baccalaureat sermon be-
fore the graduating class Mt the First
NJ. +. church, which was completely
packed by the congregation. Music
WAS furnished by the Normal choir of
the Christian church. Bishop Thomas
sermon was philosophical treatise, of
which no synopsis can give an adequate
idea, and it is with regret that we are
compelled by lack of space to forego
the publication of the entire sermon.
The Text was, 1.-The Souls Thirst.
The Intellectual Demand for God. -
''My soul thIrsteth for God, yea for the
living God. Psalms, xiii, .. The
first part of the sermon showed the fall
acy of the Agnostic doctrine, that
claims that man cannot think God.
Then the speaker went on to show the
weakness of the ordinary logical meth
DDS of reasoning out the infinite. Nc
one can commence with a finite base
and reason out infinity. The only true
method of reasoning is that which il
based on the inner self consciousness
This method of reasoning is fully illus
trated in the following quotation from
the body of the sermon:

fire early this morning. The buildings,
which covered nearly half an acre of
ground, were brick and were six, eight
and ten stories in height. The con-
tents consisting of about $4,000 barrels
of refined sugar, 100000 gallons of
liquids and valuable machinery
are total loss. Total loss on build
ings is about 5000, 600; insurance about
half that amount. Foreman Demorest
states that the fire originated in the
liquor rooms on the fourth floor, caused
by an explosion of overheated liquor:
The fire was got under control at
O'Clock this morning.

clip the following:

From the Moberly (Mo.) Monitor we
clip the following:
Died, at las this (Monday) evening,
at the residence on East Reed street,
Herman r. Suppe, aged thirty-one
years.
He was born in Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin, October 20, 1856; came to Moberly
about 1870, and was one of the firm of
Suppe Bros, who inaugurated the 80
cent business in Moberly. He was an
unusually robust and vigorous man,
which in great measure led him to
indiscretions which ultimately caused
his death. For a number of years he
was a member of the fire company
and was always at his post. At the
fire of the Chinese laundry in 1885, he
got thorough drencing, took a severe
cold from which he never recovered.
He contemplated going to California
for his waning health, but never got
off. His last sickness has been pecu-
liarly sad. For several weeks he has
confined to his bed, great sufferer.
Mr.. Suppe represented the Second
ward in the city council for two years,
and in 1886 was elected as councilman
at-large.
He leaves wife and one child. The
funeral will take place on Wednesday
afternoon at O'Clock, under the au-
spices of the Masonic fraternity.
